BCR's Shelf2Life American Civil War Collection is a unique and exciting collection of pre-1923 titles focusing on the American
Civil War and the people and events surrounding it. From memoirs and biographies of notable military figures to firsthand
accounts of famous battles and in-depth discussions of slavery, this collection is a remarkable opportunity for scholars and
historians to rediscover the experience and impact of the Civil War. The volumes contained in the collection were all written
within 60 years of the end of the war, which means that most authors had living memory of it and were facing the effects of
the war while writing. These firsthand accounts allow the modern reader to more fully understand the culture of both the Union
and Confederacy, the politics that governed the escalation and end of the war, the personal experience of life during the
Civil War, and the most difficult and polarizing question in the history of the United States: slavery. The American Civil
War Collection allows new readers access to the contemporary arguments and accounts surrounding the war, and is a vital new
tool in understanding this important and pivotal chapter in American history
